U.S. President Joe Biden called for a more than $14 billion increase in climate change investments in fiscal year 2022, including a 10% increase in the Department of Energy s budget, as he seeks to decarbonize the U.S. power sector and broader economy.
The White House Office of Management and Budget released its fiscal year 2022 discretionary budget request to Congress on April 9. The proposal seeks to raise non-defense discretionary funding to $769 billion, up 16% from 2021 enacted levels. National defense programs would receive $753 billion, a 1.7% increase.
The request includes major investments to address climate change and boost federal research and development of clean energy technologies, priorities Biden has woven into his recent infrastructure proposal and efforts to reinvigorate the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In the years since, Republicans have made tremendous strides on climate change. We have institutionalized big, bold goals anchored by clean energy breakthroughs, and even campaign on innovation as the best approach to solving the climate challenge.
The culmination of the years of effort can be summed up in one piece of legislation the Energy Act of 2020. The clean energy innovation moonshots in this bill took
five years to refine with technical and political realism.
This was the biggest, bipartisan energy policy win last Congress, and the most significant clean energy legislation we’ve seen in over a decade. The resulting technological innovation will provide options for both American and global energy systems to go clean and address the global climate challenge. It will lead to smarter, more targeted investments by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) focused on real-world outcomes that will reduce global emissions.
